    Do you know your Instagram from your TikTok, Twitter or Tumblr? If not, we have created some basic Instagram tutorials on YouTube (see links be- low) to get your club onto Instagram and posting in no time! Why Instagram? • Great engagement with younger age group ie. 13-17 y/o compared to Face- book • Easy to post – take photos and videos on rally days, competitions and camps, or re-post your members photos. Some tips for using Instagram • Engagement is more important than followers - remember, it’s not a compe- tition! Instagram is a really great tool to keep connected with your younger members, and also reach potential new members • Having a business account will allow you to see your engagements, profile visits, audience demographics, and also when your audience is online the most (to help you to determine the best time to post) • Remember to adhere to the Pony Club NSW Social Media Policy, which can be found here. A good rule is if you are questioning whether it is appro- priate to post, it probably isn’t! • All Instagram users must be at least 13 years or older to have their own ac- count. • Don’t share photos posted on members pages without asking them for per- mission first, and make sure you credit them for use of their image. • Use a club email address to make your Instagram account, that way if the person looking after the account moves on from the club, the login details can be passed onto the new person responsible (succession planning). Instagram vs Facebook We have found at a state level, our Facebook followers are generally older than our Instagram followers, so we customise our approach depending on the plat- form.

    RAISING DIGITALLY RESPONSIBLE YOUTH A Parent’s Guide CONTENTS Copyright © 2020 Safer Schools Together. Reproduction of this material is strictly prohibited without written permission of the copyright owners. All rights reserved. Disclaimer: Given the rapidly evolving nature of technology and social media apps, this information (especially social media platform related) is current as of the date of publication: February 2020. A Parent's Guide Page 1 Introduction With society heading in the direction of being constantly connected to technology, what do we need to know as parents to protect our children and teach them responsible and appropriate uses of technology? The parameters of rules and expectations that you put in place at home will undoubtedly guide their behaviour in the years to come. Given the fact that technology has entered our lives at such a rapid pace and continues to evolve, raising our children in a digital era can seem overwhelming at times. The reality is that apps and technological devices will change, but the behaviour stays the same. Moderation is key to managing technology use in our homes. It does not need to be an all or nothing approach, with either absolute prohibition or full unchecked usage. It is beneficial to maintain an open, transparent, and ongoing dialogue with our children regarding the internet, technology, social media, and video games. Remaining approachable could be the difference between whether they decide to come to us when issues or uncomfortable situations arise rather than feeling alone in the process or going to their peers instead. Technology is here to stay, whether we like it or not.

  • Visual Social Media and Big Data. Interpreting Instagram Images Posted on Twitter
    Visual Social Media and Big Data Interpreting Instagram Images Posted on Twitter Dhiraj Murthy, Alexander Gross, Marisa McGarry Abstract Social media such as Twitter and Instagram are fast, free, and multi- cast. These attributes make them particularly useful for crisis commu- nication. However, the speed and volume also make them challenging to study. Historically, journalists controlled what/how images repre- sented crises. Large volumes of social media can change the politics of representing disasters. However, methodologically, it is challenging to study visual social media data. Specifically, the process is usually labour-intensive, using human coding of images to discern themes and subjects. For this reason, Studies investigating social media during crises tend to examine text. In addition, application programming interfaces (APIs) for visual social media services such as Instagram and Snapchat are restrictive or even non-existent. Our work uses images posted by Instagram users on Twitter during Hurricane Sandy as a case study. This particular case is unique as it is perhaps the first US disaster where Instagram played a key role in how victims experi- enced Sandy. It is also the last major US disaster to take place before Instagram images were removed from Twitter feeds. Our sample con- sists of 11,964 Instagram images embedded into tweets during a two- week timeline surrounding Hurricane Sandy. We found that the pro- duction and consumption of selfies, food/drink, pets, and humorous macro images highlight possible changes in the politics of representing disasters – a potential turn from top-down understandings of disas- ters to bottom-up, citizen informed views.

If you need to gain permission for new methods of contact, do this! Try to establish good ways of keeping in touch which are age appropriate and in line with Safeguarding Trust. Content – once you have methods of communication open, decide what you would like to communicate with your young people. What content do they need? What would you like for them to be reminded of? Community – the Church has a role to play. Consider your role as part of your church in serving the community and how to do this wisely without making it unsafe for others.
